I unfortunately was not able to read this book. I was excited when ever I had chosen to download or pick this book up on Netgalley. However, time moves by so quickly and I never got to read it.

For a second book in the series, it doesn't hang around, throwing you straight into the action from the offset!

The at is just as amazing as the first book and makes a great introduction to books for kids who love comics.

Although it is difficult to read this as a standalone story, as a series it definitely adds to the world and plot of the zodiac.

Really difficult to read as a stand alone story. Obviously, this is meant to occur between the prose novels (which I haven't read), so there's references to a lot of things that aren't in this book. And even though it's listed as #2, it doesn't follow issue 1. So I felt pretty lost the whole time I was reading this. That being said, the art was great and Moore is a pretty good writer. This book just doesn't work well on its own.

Another great installment of the Zodiac Legacy series.

With incredible graphics/illustrations and clear writing, it's so easy to follow the story as these powerful kids embark on another adventure. I loved the little addition of the French translations and how discreetly they were offered.

This was a whole new story, with a new character and an exploration of some of the characters we didn't see front-and-centre in the first part. It's great to know that each character will get their own chance to show their story and feelings on the sudden transformation into having Zodiac powers within the series.

There's a little something for everyone – an emotional attachment to the characters, a diverse range of backgrounds to the characters and a nice mix of trying to adapt to their powers and using them in the next adventure.

A further completely disposable one-shot from the Zodiac Legacy world. This has a bit more to it than the first graphic novel, but once more is over far too quickly, leaving us short-changed with something that like as not has very, very little bearing on the real novels this franchise should have settled with. Some of the Zodiac kids are on a runaway train, and they're debating both their place in the world, as teens are wont to do, and worrying about a turncoat in their midst. It doesn't get as risible as the first book achieved, even if it does feature some awful ideas about stopping the train, and the final dash to impact must have been played out at half-speed, but it's still entirely dispensable.

A continuation of the previous story, but doesn't have much of a plot on its own.

NetGalley Review
This is only a small snippet of what the heroes face on a daily basis. With how short the story is, you are still provided with a lot of background information from previous books. The team is still working out a few kinks. With the new addition to their team, trust is key.
The artwork isn't my favorite and appears inconsistent in some parts. For example, the book begins with a fill cast list consisting of a photo and a blurb to match. However, a few character's blurbs and names are covered up by their photos. Not only that, but some of the panels appeared to be out of place. It's nothing drastic that will prevent you from understanding what it going on. However, when one panel shows a character safe on the ground beside the train and the next jumping from the train tracks. I hoping that it is fixed in the actual copy.

Who doesn't love Stan Lee? This is an exciting sequel to the first Zodiac and it was just as good as the first.

Not what I expected, did not realize it was a graphic novel. Was difficult to read on kindle.paperwhite.
